How do I handle asynchronous actions in Vuex?

In Vuex, you can handle asynchronous actions using the actions property. You define an action that can perform asynchronous operations like API calls.

Can you show me an example of an asynchronous action?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

actions: {
  fetchData({ commit }) {
    return axios.get('/api/data')
      .then(response => {
        commit('setData', response.data);
      });
  }
}

What about error handling in asynchronous actions?

You can handle errors by using a catch block in your promise chain. For example:

fetchData({ commit }) {
  return axios.get('/api/data')
    .then(response => {
      commit('setData', response.data);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      commit('setError', error);
    });
}

Is there a way to use async/await in Vuex actions?

Yes, you can use async/await in Vuex actions. Just define your action as an async function:

async fetchData({ commit }) {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get('/api/data');
    commit('setData', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    commit('setError', error);
  }
}
